Google, Microsoft and OpenAI among 100 firms calling for better cyber defences

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and 97 other firms signed an open letter urging governments and organisations to strengthen cyber defences as AI-enabled attacks are expected to escalate. The letter says there is a limited window to improve defences “in a matter of months” and argues current security measures “won’t be enough.” As a result, signatories are calling for more funding, defensive AI use, and broader testing of systems at critical services like hospitals and water utilities.
